How to Fix the "A Weird Start Job Is Running..." Delay on Pardus 2.0

I decided to upgrade my Pardus 2.0 system. After a long time downloading and installing the updates, I booted my system into the new Pardus with its 3.16 kernel.Everything went fine, except for one thing: while booting, I noticed a message I had never seen before. It was something like:

A start job is running for dev-disk-by (a long string of numbers here,

followed by the time count: x/1min30sec)

Fortunately, it actually lasted the one minute with 30 seconds it announced, but that made my boot time longer than 2 minutes!

Thanks to this Arch Linux forum, I could find the answer. Basically, I had to edit the etc/fstab file to make it accurately point to my swap partition. In my case, /dev/sda2.

That took care of the issue and now my Pardus system boots normally.

Oh, and the upgrade seems to have fixed Steam. Now I can play Violett again! :P
